Consumer Description
EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK OFF AND THE TRUCK DEVELOPS EXHAUST LEAK...THE TRUCK THEN HAS NO CONTROL OF REGULATING EXHAUST GASES AND NEXT YOU WILL GET A DAMAGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS WILL ALSO CAUSE OXYGEN SENSOR TO CHANGE MIXTURE. THESE BOLTS ARE BREAKING ON THE ENGINE, ON THEIR OWN. THE BOLTS ARE TOO SMALL FOR A EXHAUST AREA BOLT. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS. MODEL 5.7 HEMI HAS HAD ISSUES FROM 2005 -2012. THESE BOLTS CAN NOT STAND UP TO THE HEAT AND STRESS FOR THE INTENDED APPLICATION. *TR
